My Half Year Resolution

My May was absolutely crazy. I was away quite a lot, work has been manic, my Grandma is ill, and I've been trying to fit in family, friends and boyfriend so I haven't really had time to look after myself. June should (fingers crossed) be less busy, so I've decided to make a 'half year resolution' to look after myself much better.I think unfortunately it's a sign of my age that I can't live at 100mph without any repercussions. I'm 27, and throughout May I could feel that my muscles were getting really achey and tight and stiff but ignored it, I had no time for a massage. And now I have a trapped nerve which is agony and affecting my whole left side. I've had no time for the gym for about a month, and haven't been eating well. I know this isn't a beauty post but I wanted to write it down, as if I put this into the blogosphere I'm more likely to stick to it!So here is what I'm pledging to do:

Drink more water

Eat a least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day

Go to the gym at least 3 times a week (once my trapped nerve has gone)

Take up yoga and meditation again (this really helped my insomnia a while ago, and something which can help a condition that had been going on for about 2 years must be powerful and worth doing!)

Sleep more

Take multivitamins (need to get my body back on track. I will be eating better but I think right now my body needs an extra boost)

No/minimal alcohol (I say minimal which is more realistic. I'll have a couple of glasses of wine if I go out for dinner, but I won't have crazy amounts of alcohol)

Have more me-time

Don't treat massages as an extravagance, they are essential for my back

Don't see draining friends (you know the ones I mean, where you leave feeling exhausted rather than uplifted)

So there we go. It may sound a bit boring, but I need to do this. My body is completely run down, I've now got ulcers all down the side of my mouth, and I really need to put more thought into my health. I'm hoping if I focus on myself for June, I'll feel much better, have more energy, and perhaps lose a bit of weight and tone up!If you have any more suggestions for what I can do to get myself better just let me know, I'd appreciate it.
